The majority of this All-Star team moonlights as the Plant City Prowlers, who have been busy as of late. The Prowlers placed 56th out of 104 teams in the Cooperstown Dreams Tournament, held Friday, June 10, through Friday, June 17.
Come Tuesday, July 5, the 11-12 boys will be ready for Lake Wales.
“We’ve gone up against [Lake Wales] pretty much every year,” manager Jeff Conyers said. “I don’t know if it’s the same group or not, but I don’t want to take them lightly.”
Regular Plant City Times & Observer readers will notice a Rhet Conyers, Jamie Brown, Josh Herring, Hunter Smith and Ethan Pues as past Athlete of the Week selections. With a deep talent pool, Conyers believes the sky is the limit.
“I told these boys that my goal is, up through states, it says, ‘Plant City,’ on our shirts,” Conyers said. “After that, it says, ‘Florida.’ That’s our goal, to get past states.”
